British Hand Over Basra Police Station to the Mahdi Army...
Sad but inevitable once the British decided to retreat from Southern Iraq...
BASRA, Iraq: Shiite militiamen from the Mahdi Army took over the police joint command center in Basra on Sunday after British soldiers withdrew from the facility and handed control to the Iraqi police, witnesses said.
Police left the building when the militiamen, loyal to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, arrived, the witnesses said.
The British military disputed the reports, saying they had been in contact with the Iraqi general in charge of security in Basra, who has said the Mahdi Army was not there.
But the witnesses said the Mahdi Army emptied the building — taking generators, computers, furniture and even cars, saying it was war booty — and remained there in the early evening.

Imagine that you are husband and wife in Britain and your only child, a son, was killed in combat in the early stages of the Iraq War. He was killed by a member of Sadr's minnion army, the Mahdi's - he had helped gain control of a huge section of Basra and in the end, gave up his life for that goal.
And now, you watch as your sissified government in London, gives it all back to the Mahdi Army.
Imagine the fury. Imagine the disgust. Imagine the tears.
